another Chance

"Lady hokage!" Shizune burst into the hokage's office where jiraya, Naruto and kakashi along with yamato were talking about naruto's progress and possible improvements that maybe required for Naruto to better control the kyuubi's chakra "Lady tsunade, this... there's an emergency signal from anbu who were watching over sasuke and his companions...." she panted as she informed her(tsunade) belatedly realising that Naruto was also present in the room, in the whole room everyone's expression turned serious except Naruto who was not clear about the situation but it didn't took him long before realising the situation....
______________________

Itachi concealed his presence which was not very difficult to do as his chakra was already sealed so he just disguised himself as one of the staff, it took him quite a while to finally avoid the anbu keeping an eye on him but he managed it. He walked out of the hospital, he had memorised the schedule of the doctors and med nins who were assigned to him and he had not too much time on his hand to get the information about sasuke's  location, so he looked in the direction of hokage's office and started walking....
Itachi gritted his teeth as he finally got inside the hokage's building without arousing any suspicion but even after entering he was seen by one of the staff here so he had to use taijutsu to deal with him, the strain on his body caused him to feel pain all over his body but he kept his face straight, if not for his paleness and nearly blue looking lips no one could tell what he was going through, Itachi knew he could just be obedient for the time being and go along with the treatment and then go find sasuke but he just couldn't sit still, just as itachi almost convinced himself to go back to hospital before things really blow up, he was caught by a certain blonde haired, blue eyed ninja who was staring at him with questioning eyes and if Itachi was not reading it wrong the boy was anxious and worried about something....was it because he(Itachi) was here instead of hospital? Definitely because the next minute the blonde furrowed his brows and placed his hands on his hips looking at him with disapproving eyes as he said "Itachi nii san, how could you leave the hospital and what's with this uniform you are wearing?hmmm??.... Don't tell me you actually sneaked out of the hospital?!!!! " his blue eyes widened as he realised this, Itachi sighed what should he do now this is really troublesome....

After a long lecture from Naruto, Itachi was escorted(sneaked) back to his hospital ward. Naruto's shadow clone that had just escorted Itachi back left the hospital and as he was walking he suddenly poofed into smoke....
_______________________

As soon as they got to sasuke's location what greeted the group was a nearly burned forest with only ashes left, suigetsu and juggō were on the ground covered in ash and soot and a lot of deep and shallow injuries, juggō was in a specially bad state, his body had these strange marks left by strangling specially around his neck and there were even finger prints on his jaw, completely telling them how much force was used as his jaw was almost dislocated, sakura being the only medical ninja in the team rushed to the two of them and helped them up quickly dealing with their injuries and the rest started looking around and gauging out the total damage, looking for the possible signs and clues that could lead to the anbu or sasuke.
As they were doing so, jiraya suddenly flashed in front of yamato channeling his chakra into his hair causing them to grow out and harden as they wrapped around jiraya and yamato just in time to block a huge fire dragon,
the smoke hadn't  settled they saw a shilloute walking through the smoke towards them and heard the very familiar voice that belonged to a certain young uchiha "you guys really like to poke your nose into someone's buisness"....when the smoke cleared they saw sasuke standing there looking at them with golden pupils with a black slit in the center just like a venomous snake that was looking at it's prey, there were purple marks covering half his face going down his neck just like the last time when he lost the control over his seal and they continued towards his chest stopping right over his heart, they could see it clearly  now as sasuke's shirt that he was wearing was almost shredded unable to cover his upper body entirely and exposing his lean but powerful muscles and his beautiful pale body. "Sasuke?" Naruto called to him lightly as he rushed to where jiraya and yamato were, it looked like he had finall gained control over the curse? But there was something off about him....Naruto just couldn't put a finger on it....
________________

Hearing Naruto calling out to him sasuke turned his eyes from jiraya and yamato to Naruto who shuddered subconsciously as those predator like eyes fell on him, looking at him silently as if he could look through his every move and would stop hom even before he could execute them.....a gaze like that on himself made Naruto uncomfortable and even kyuubi inside him slightly released his chakra out of his pwn accord accompanied by his lazy voice 'listen brat that uchiha brat over there is not right and he is in sage mode right now I can feel it.....he's dangerous' hearing kyuubi's voice Naruto was a little surprised but quickly caught on the important bits and blurted out "sage mode?" Jiraya and yamato also heard him but Naruto didn't had the time to pay them any attention as he was busy with talking to the kyuubi 'what's a sage mode?' he asked all confused, kyuubi looked at Naruto like looking at a fool with some hints of annoyance
